Chapter 64 Chapter 64 The danger is over when the girl rushes towards him...
Xilin is a vast mountain forest. Besides wild vegetables, it also boasts countless wild fruit trees. Therefore, in addition to visiting Qingshan, villagers occasionally come here to pick some wild fruits and vegetables.
They usually only move around the outskirts of the forest and won't venture deep into it, even if the wild fruits there are bigger and sweeter than those outside. Because, in addition to the sweet fruits, there are also vicious killer bees and extremely venomous snakes and insects.
These poisonous creatures generally don't move too far from their nests, so the periphery is relatively safe.
Cui Cen also mentioned on the first day of the lecture that children should not run deep into the woods when playing. The children all agreed very well at that time, so he believed that Dongzi definitely did not get stung by running deep into the woods and provoking a wasp.
What could have caused the hornets to attack? Cui Cen was puzzled. He had to investigate it himself to get the answer.
Zhao Mingsheng and Cui Cen slowly approached the place where Dongzi said he picked wild vegetables.
From a distance, this place looked just like the surrounding forests, nothing special. They observed their surroundings, wary of wasps that might appear at any moment, and approached cautiously.
Suddenly, Zhao Mingsheng's nose moved slightly, as if he smelled something.
"etc."
Zhao Mingsheng stopped Cui Cen who was about to move forward.
"What's wrong?" Cui Cen looked around and found nothing wrong.
Zhao Mingsheng shook his head slightly, signaling him not to act rashly. He bent down, picked up a small stone from his feet, and threw it forward.
A small stone dropped into the grass can cause a huge wave.
One stone stirs up a thousand ripples, no, a thousand bees.
Countless hornets sensed the movement and emerged from the grass where they had been dormant. They flew up and down in the air, circling around the area where the stone was thrown, as if they were patrolling their territory.
Seeing the swarms of hornets gathered together, Cui Cen was frightened even if he was not scared. Fortunately, he did not walk over rashly.
"Let me try if this sachet works first." Zhao Mingsheng raised the sachet in his hand, took a step forward, and prepared to get closer to the hornets to see if it was effective.
Cui Cen pulled her back and said, "Where are you going? Are you crazy? This is too dangerous!"
"Do you see those plants with white flowers in the middle of the grass?" Zhao Mingsheng answered the question irrelevantly and talked about something else with Cui Cen.
Cui Cen was stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction her gaze was pointing and saw the plants with white flowers.
A bell-shaped pistil blooms at the top of the thin green stem, which is white and delicate, swaying gently in the wind, making it endearing.
Apart from looking more beautiful, Cui Cen felt that these white flowers were no different from the wild flowers on the roadside. But since Zhao Mingsheng mentioned it, she must have a purpose. He observed them carefully again, and as he looked, he really discovered some tricks.
Those hornets seem to be flying in a disorderly manner, but in fact their flying trajectories are mostly around those flowers.
"Is there something wrong with those flowers?" Cui Cen asked, feeling more certain in his heart.
"Those are called Baixian, also known as Bagu Niu. They are a medicinal herb that can treat rheumatism, bone pain, and bleeding from trauma. When they bloom, they emit a unique fragrance within a ten-meter radius, attracting animals to help pollinate them. The wasps must have been attracted by this unique fragrance."
"Then if we dig up those Dictamnus plants and block the fragrance, won't they stop lingering here?"
Zhao Mingsheng thought this method was feasible and nodded slightly.
"Okay, then wear it here obediently, I'll go."
Before she could say anything, Cui Cen had already started walking towards the white peony plants.
Zhao Mingsheng reached out to grab his sleeve but missed.
“…Come back!”
She whispered.
Zhao Mingsheng was naturally confident in the effectiveness of her scent sachet, and with the jade pendant protecting her, she knew she could escape the bee swarm unscathed even if the sachet failed. But Cui Cen was different. If the sachet failed, he would be walking into a tiger's mouth.
In the eyes of those hornets, he is just a walking piece of candy!
But at this moment he had already stepped into the range of the fragrance of white mulberry, which was the circle where the hornets were flying.
Hearing Zhao Mingsheng's call, he turned around with a defiant smile and lip-synced.
"rest assured."
How could she be at ease? Although the first half of Cui Cen's plan seemed to work, he forgot that the fragrance of the white mulberry would be suddenly isolated. Without the fragrance to rely on, the wasps would become more irritable. Once the wasps became irritable, the sachet would be useless!
She doesn't want to see Cui Ergou's head swollen like a pig tomorrow!
The sachet is indeed very useful. The smell it emits is not much different from that of an ordinary sachet to humans, but mosquitoes can't avoid it.
Cui Cen held the sachet and approached Bai Xian smoothly step by step.
Bend down and pull out weeds.
The uprooted white mulberry was put into the cloth bag carried by Cui Cen in a flash. The whole set of movements was as smooth as flowing water and completed in one go. He had never been so agile before.
Seeing that the mission was completed, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He was about to return the same way, but when he looked up, the girl's anxious and panicked expression caught his eyes.
Before he could think, the vibrations of the hornets' wings suddenly increased in frequency. They began to rush around like headless flies.
not good!
Cui Cen immediately realized that the hornets were starting to riot!
"Run!" His first reaction was to let the girl leave here quickly.
The girl heard his shout and ran away obediently.
However...the direction of her running seemed to be the opposite. She did not run away from the bee swarm, but instead ran towards Cui Cen.
Cui Cen just watched as the girl rushed towards him without hesitation.
The hard chest was hit by a softness.
The pleasant fragrance of the girl rushed into his nose. Under normal circumstances, Cui Cen's ears might have turned red, but he had no time to care about it at the moment.
He subconsciously stroked the back of the girl's neck and pressed her fair little face against his chest, protecting her tightly without leaving any gaps, while his other hand was on her back.
The scent of the girl kept washing over his nose, but he had no time to care. He just hoped that the wasps would open their eyes and sting only him!
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of wings fluttering around gradually faded away.
"No, it's okay." Cui Cen's voice was shaking when he spoke, "Are you stung?"
Zhao Mingsheng said sullenly in his arms, "I wasn't stung." But he was almost suffocated to death.
Cui Cen breathed a sigh of relief, and the strength in his hands loosened a little.
Zhao Mingsheng took this opportunity to raise his head from Cui Cen's arms, and the first thing he said to her was: "I told you to run just now, why didn't you run?"
The girl in his arms raised her head, biting her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and said innocently, "I ran away!"
She thought to herself: Humph! If I really ran away, you would really be stung like a pig's head!
"What about you? Were you stung?"
Zhao Mingsheng was worried that the jade pendant's protection wasn't wide enough, so she hugged Cui Cen tightly. That was the best solution she could think of in a crisis situation.
"Um?"
Cui Cen finally realized it and said, "It's over. I didn't even feel the sting anymore."
After the swarm of bees dispersed, Cui Cen did not feel the expected pain at all, and he could not help but groan in despair.
He looked pitiful, like a wounded little animal: "Look quickly, can I be saved?"
Zhao Mingsheng couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Yeah, you've been stung like a pig."
After hearing this, Cui Cen quickly turned his head to the other side, unwilling to expose his ugly appearance to Zhao Mingsheng.
He touched his cheek and it was smooth without any bumps. Then he realized that something was wrong. It turned out that he was not stung at all!
Cui Ergou: !!! I got cheated!
Maybe he should be angry, but facing that smiling face, he couldn't get angry at all. He couldn't get angry at all.
From the moment the girl rushed towards him, his heart softened completely and all the hardness was put away towards her.
Cui Cen smiled helplessly and turned his anger on the wasps, mocking them without hesitation, "This wave of wasps is no good!" Too weak! They can't even sting!
But he still had some questions in his heart. Why did the hornet, which looked so ferocious and had stung Dongzi seven or eight times with big stings, let them go in the end?
"Okay, let's go home!"
The girl's rosy cheeks and big watery eyes shine brightly in the sunlight.
Cui Cen swallowed the question in his mouth and smiled silently.
"Okay, let's go home."
They sneaked back to the Zhao family again and told no one about the matter except Mafeng.
On the other hand, Mr. Zhao was so happy when he saw the fresh white mulberry that his beard was about to stand up. He took the cloth bag and ran into the pharmacy to think about his new prescription.
But this matter is not over yet.
In the evening, Dongzi's father came to the house happily and brought good news.
"I just called a few people together to burn down that wasp nest over there." The burly man paused and said mysteriously, "Guess what happened!"
"What's wrong?" Zhao's father cooperated.
"Those hornets have all left, somehow!" Dongzi's father clapped his hands, as happy as if it were New Year's Day. "Now we don't have to worry about anyone else getting hurt by hornets. The children's safety is guaranteed."
Zhao Mingsheng and Cui Cen looked at each other and saw smiles in each other's eyes.
"By the way, we also brought this."
The burly man pulled something out of the snakeskin bag he was carrying. "I'll leave this to you as a token of my gratitude for saving Dongzi!"
When Zhao Mingsheng saw what he took out, his eyes lit up and he slapped his head in annoyance. Why did they forget this today?
